Description

Retrospective case studies explored language maintenance and shift in one German immigrant family with a special focus on the notion of bilingualism from an individual's perspective. The analysis points to a dynamic rather than a static definition of the term. It also involves a deeper investigation of the language learning environment and results in implications for policy and instruction.
